Oscar- and Emmy-nominated filmmaker Kirby Dick (THIS FILM IS NOT YET RATED, OUTRAGE, TWIST OF FATE) delivers a hard-hitting investigative documentary exposing the epidemic of rape going on within the United States military today. Incredibly, twenty percent of all servicewomen have been assaulted; this profoundly moving film follows the stories of six patriotic young servicewomen who were raped. Betrayed by their own officers when they demanded justice and unwilling to be silenced, the women go to Washington to confront the Pentagon. One of the most important political films of the decade, THE INVISIBLE WAR is one of those rare films so powerful that it has already caused changes in military policy. “Brilliant…a movie that cannot be ignored.” - The New York Times.
